(Special to Tb Journal New Tork. Feb. 10. Andrew Carnegie ay there Is a "money trust." not th kind of a trust that the politician In Washington want to Investigate, but a concentration of money In Wall sreet because of the country's archaic bank ing system. "Our national bank law," say air. Carnegie, "Is responsible for the hug oonoentratlon of the country's money in New Tork. Do you realise that nearly one-sixth of all the real money la the United States 1 on Manhattan island T Thi I th real money trut" "Th New Tork bank laat year re ceived $817,000,000 from the rest of the country and sent baok only $488,000,000 net gain of $211,000,000. Why does Nw Tork get thl money T Th nation al bank law provides that a country bank must hold a cash reserve of $15 against every $1000 of deposit, hut the bank may keep $9 of this $15 In rerv city bank. These raaerve city bank must bold a cash reserve of $25 against every $100 of deposits, but they may keep half their reserve In tb central reserve cities New Tork, Chicago and St. Louis. ' , Bessrre Cash Idle. "The reserve cash In a country bank is Idle it earns nothing, but deposited in a New Tork bank It earn per cent. It 1 this 2 per cent that lures the country bank' money to Wall street. You know what New York does with this money. It loans it to Wall tret speculators at 8 or 4 per cent Every $100 cash left In a New Tork bank by a country bank I the bail of $400 In loan to Wall street for speculation In stocks, grain and cotton. 'Isn't this a bad way of doing things? There Isn't another country in tb world that legally provides for such a con centration of money In one hoard to be uaed by speculators. We can't cnecx th money trust' until w stop this pouring of money Into Wall street for speculation. Currency xef orm Important. "This Is one reason why I believe the most vital question before the peo ple today is banking and currency re form. We must atop th piling up of money In New Tork for speculative use, and w must enlarge the market for the use of loanable funds to pro mote agriculture. Industry and com merce. Commercial paper, not stock brokers' notes, must be made th chief Investment for bank funda here, a It 1 In Europe. Thl Is one of th basic principle of th National Reserve asso ciation. 'England, Franoe, Germany and other countries have safeguarded their bank reserves, and can use them to prevent money panics. Hence their safety. We don't Hence our danger. We are th only country In th world today that ha money panics, th final burden of which t born by business, and th dis aster of which fall upon innocent work Ingmen and women. It la really crimi nal to delay action now. "Congressional investigation or tne money trust' will show that we have a dangerous banking system, a system that concentrate funds in Wall street and bread panic, and thl Investiga tion will be an unanswerable argument for banking and currency reform." KAVANAUGH WILL PAY BILL IF COUNTY WON'T Presiding Judge Kavanaugh of the circuit court said today that he would pay Charles Nebergall. the blind cigar dealer In the court nouse, ror me news papers furnished the Louis J. Wilde Jury if the county court refused to pay the bill. The court which la composed of Judge Cleeton, and Commissioners Llghtner and Hart have refused to pay the full amount, declaring that the Jury men should have had only one news paper among themselves.. The blind cigar dealer supplied th court bailiff with paper for the Jury, giving him six morning and six eve ning papers, during the time the jury was locked up. The bill amounted to $4.90. When thi was sent the county court, it was cut to 90 cents. "I think one paper was enojigh for the Jurymen," said Judge Cleeton this morning. "They could pass th paper around, or one man read aloud to th others." Frank H. Fields, clerk for Judge Kavanaugh, say he asked County Judge Cleeton about supplying the 12 Jurymen. with newspaper, to which the judge replied that the clerk and bailiff should do whatever Judge Kavanaugh thought best Th latter suggested that six papers be given the 12 men, as they only had a short time, to read. Clerk Fields further says that he asked the county court about meals and lodging to which Judge Cleeton replied that whatever Judge Kavanaugh thought beet would be acceptable to the county court. The county court yesterday cut the bills for the Jurors' lodging and meals from $377 to $266. It has not been de cided who will pay these bills. County Judge Cleeton insists that the judges of the circuit oourt must present such matters to the commissioners before bills are contracted. Bad Actors Sent to Jail. (Halted Proas Loaed Wire.)

THE sun was shining brightly a w walked up Fourth atreet toward those beautiful hill. My compan ion explained to me that the train that came puffing and panting up th atreet emitting smoke and cinder all over us, a wall a the pretty home, was soon to bo electrified. Soon w came to the bridge or trestle across a deep ravin known a Marquam gulch, where there la to be some day a fine playground. A w passed the gulch and came nearer the hills with the beau tiful tree-spire outlined against the sky w realised that the great natural aaset of Portland 1 It hill and trees. Sat isfied with the hills we faced the east Like a silver thread lay the river below and there In th distance, for the first time since I had arrived in Portland, was Mount Hood In all it marvelous beauty, In full view. Long we worshiped and no one broke the sacred stillness until up spoke my companion: "Would you like to go Into Neighborhood House? It la th Jewlh oclal ettle ment It Is supported by the Council of Jewish Women, one of the strongest, if not the strongest cjub In the city, j. ne council la composed of a splendid body of women. While it 1 supported almost entirely by the Hebrews, yet the work here 1 very democratio and any child whose parent or guardian can pay one dollar per year Is admitted to the house and given every attention." By this time we had reached the build ing closs at hand, known a Neighbor hood Hou; a good substantial brick; a placard outside th door advised th passer that there waa to b a mother' meeting. Thl was a aufflcient attrac tion to cause us to enter. At th right of th entrance waa a spacious kinder gartan room, at th left a fine library and office. Coming from the office waa a young lady, apparently about five and twenty, who Invited ua to enter and b seated. On the lady's desk, among many other books, was "Twenty Years in Hull House," by Jane Addams. This fasci nated me, for I know Mis Addams well and had knowledge of her work and has tened to inquire if Miss Block, for thl proved to be the nam of our charming hostess, knew Mis Addams. Then as the young woman reviewed the various settlement places she had studied and compared methods, th soul of thl beau, tlful resident worker hon forth from her eyes and one needed no telling to know that her very heart and soul was devoted to settlement work. Miss Sadie Block told us she was born In Oordonsvlll, Va., and her eye shone with a moisture as she spoke of the quaintnes and charm of th place and the old home where she wa born, and where her parent hav lived for 40 year. "How' did you happen to drift into this work?" With that far away look which come to th eye of on reviewing the past and with a slight hesitation, she an swered: "Why, I was In the hospital when quite young and hare for the first time I saw sadneas and suffering and it seemed a beautiful thing for those nurses to give their lives to alleviating pain and I determined then and ther to be a nurse or more perhaps, and to that end I studied four year for an M. D. . Then I cam In touch with Jacob Rila and hi work and I think thl touch Influenced me more than any thing else In the world, and I realized that '. I must - go deeper than . . curing disease, or alleviating pain, if I would really be of use to my fellow . beings. I wanted to get down to first causes. Her I discovered that education or en lightenment was the thing to work for. That to prevent all sort of ills befall ing children or adults was batter than curing them." And a h added, "I love my work, t lov my children,",: and on know from th ring In th vole that Mis Block was happy in her chosen profeaalon. and had chosen wisely. Suddenly rising, a though she feared sh might have been too personal In her reminiscences, asked If we would like ta so throuffb, Ui rooma and aea th equipment. It being Saturday there waa no work being don in the gymnasium or kindergarten rooms, but we wer told that there was to be a mother's meet ing which might Interest us. Just at that moment Mrs. Ben Selling rushed In with arms filled with something that gave the Impression there was going to be something good to eat at least, and we decided to stay. Then followed Mrs. Julius Llpplt the president of the Council of Jewish Women; Mrs. Blum auer, who has been untiring In her up port of Neighborhood House and all It stands for; Madame Pevsner, who has been giving talks in Yiddish to those, who cannot understand the English well end then they came too thick and fast to note them all and th children came also and took their place In the kin dergarten ring and soon they wer singing to th amusement and Joy of all. Mr. A. Kallsher made the prin cipal talk of the afternoon which waa a plain practical talk on th common but necessary thing of everyday life and conduct Freedom of Choice. No child can rmaln tied to hi mother' apron atrlng or be under his father eye forever. He must be free at aome tlm in life and h should be prepared for that freedom In such a way that h never know when It come. If a young pereon I tied down to a particular set of moral and propriety until he goe away from home he sud denly find himself among respecta ble people who regularly do and ap prove of many thing which he had previously been taught were Improper. Being unable to see anything actually improper In these thine he is unable to discern the true lln between th proper and improper and plunges In headlong. He 1 soon far beyond and perhaps Irretrievably beyond the line and all because of th sudden change. Th best regulator In giving child ren freedom sre pride of family and a multiplicity of children in a family. If a child 1 proud of th good nam of It parent nd of hi brothers and sisters ho will avoid tarnishing that nam. Then older children tell th younger? one that they ahould be ashamed to do so and so. Children follow th advie of olde- children when thy will not follow that of their pa rents. To th child parent ar fre quently far away monuments of virtue and austerity who do not understand present circumstances. They do not realise that the parent wer one children and th parent seem to for get It also. Recreation. The "play" spirit Is extending to for eign countrle. India, China, Japan and Africa are seeking information a to how play center can best be organ ised. Rio Janeiro has established Its first playground and it is a great uc cess. Porto Rico ha excelled th United State. Shanghai China, already ha two recreation center. All over this country the "play spirit" Is rapidly spreading. City of ficials are asking for information and assistance from the Playground and Recreation Association of America. Over 140 cities are at the present time taking action in th regulation of their dance hall. Large sums of money are being expended by- employer to enoour ago the right kind of recreation for their employ. Our charitable institution, orphan. Insane and feeble minded asylum are finding out the Inestimable advantage of plaj intelligent and well regulated play. Truly the "play spirit" Is abroad in the laUd and it is only in Its In fancy. It should be our task and It Is our prerogative to foster and encour ag its growth. The necessity for recreation should be recognised a a part of civic life THOROUGHLY RELIABLE Tht best results are oozainea by using ... 4atitMt , 0.8.tOfllo WALTER Established 17ftO KM and our business men, and city fathers should be awakened to th permanent benefit to be derived from It by th community as a whole.

While Mr. cowie did not deal with these fundamental causes he howod there wa need for education and that thl education ahould b along the lines of prevention. The congress Indorsed the effort to get legislative enactment that this education becom a part of our aohool curriculum.

When payment pressed them, they fled to Seattle, where they wer arrested and returned to Portland. Part of th debt wer settled, and a parole extended them.. For several months Rathlou and his wife, who was th former wif of Dr. Roy Miles Collin, lived near Tremont tatlon on th Mount Soott line. Rath lou posed aa a Danish count but said his family had renounced him. Th woman deserted Dr. Collin for Rathlou, who took her to hi horn In Denmark. Soon after their arrival in Denmark, they wer obliged to leave the Rathlou home, and returned to Oregon. Rathlou and hi wife reported each week to Judge McOlnn for aeveral months, leaving Portland late last fall. They returned to Denmark, from which place they wrote the Judg on October $1, 1911. In tht; letter, Mrs. .Rathlou aid she and her husband wer con ducting a email business and getting along nicely. After th woman ran away from Dr. Collin, ha secured a divorce and mar ried again.

M. C A. and learn to swim and take part In the play ther that was not of th destructive ort that he was engaged in. He replied that he did not have the money; that It cost $20 to go to the gymnasium. "I think yon are mistaken In that," I said, but th boy was so persistent that I thought It best to ascertain If there waa any changa In rule, so I called up Mr. Palmer who 1a at th head of the boys' department and h gave me th following schedule of prices: Boys from 10 to 12 (Preps) pay only $5 per year. Boy from U to 14 (Junior) $( per rear. Boy from 14 to It (Intermediate) $T per year. Boy from 1$ to IS (Hlfrh school) $8 per year. So the young chap who was destroy ing property playing "rough house" in th street might have been under th direction of supervised play and ac tivities for the mere pittance of $S per year.
